PREMIUM COMPOSITE DECKING INSTALLERS IN NEW MILTON

Absolutely! Composite decking comes in a variety of colours, textures, and finishes, allowing you to choose a design that perfectly complements your home’s exterior and personal style.

Whether you prefer a natural wood appearance, a sleek modern look, or something in between, there are options to suit your needs.

Additionally, custom layouts and features like built-in seating or lighting can further personalise your deck, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your home's aesthetic.

One of the major benefits of composite decking is its low maintenance requirements. To keep your deck looking fresh, all that’s typically needed is an occasional sweep to remove dirt, leaves, and other debris.

Periodic cleaning with soapy water and a soft brush will also help remove any built-up grime or moss.

Unlike traditional wooden decking, you won’t need to worry about regular staining, sealing, or sanding - saving you time and effort while keeping your outdoor space attractive.

Initially, composite decking may have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional wood decking. However, when considering the long-term benefits, it often proves to be more cost-effective.

Composite decking doesn’t require the regular staining, sealing, or treatments that wood does, which means fewer ongoing expenses and less maintenance effort over time.

Additionally, its durability means you’re less likely to need repairs or replacements, providing excellent value for your investment in the long run.

For most decking projects in New Milton, planning permission is not typically required if the deck is less than 30cm above ground level. However, if your project involves a larger or raised structure, approval may be necessary.

If your property is situated in one of The New Forest conservation areas, planning permission might be needed to preserve the historical or natural significance of the surroundings.

We can guide you through determining if permits are required and assist with the application process to make it as smooth as possible.

High-quality composite decking is designed with a textured, slip-resistant surface to provide extra safety underfoot, even when wet. This feature is particularly important in areas like New Milton, where rain is frequent, and wet surfaces can become a hazard.

The surface of composite boards has been engineered to enhance grip, making them a safer option for households with children or elderly individuals. Regular cleaning can also help maintain this non-slip surface by preventing the buildup of moss or algae.

While all outdoor materials are subject to some degree of fading, premium composite decking is manufactured to resist UV rays and retain its colour for many years. This means that your deck will maintain its vibrant appearance much longer than traditional wood, which tends to grey or weather quickly without constant maintenance.

Any slight fading that occurs generally happens within the first few months as the deck acclimates, after which it retains a consistent look, providing a lasting, attractive outdoor space.
